THE president has decided that congress and not himself has the right to dispose of the battle flags and trophies captured from persons in arms against the government of the United States. Before the order to re- turn these to the governors of the states from which came the regiments from which they were taken, was rescinded, whirlwind of indignation had sprung up. Nearly every northern state governor had declared that he would not give up for such purpose the flags in the custody of his state. It is hard to see why the southern state governments should be recognized in such transfer. These states are presumably loyal, and their officials likewise. As such what possible interest can they have in any relics of disloyalty? If the flags and relics are not to be preserved by the government, let them be destroyed.

He could give more words to an idea than George Francis Train even, but he sometimes got an idea of considerable size mixed into the batch. May he requiescat and all the other Latin things.

IT is not creditable to Boston that such row was raised there over the granting of the use of Fanuel Hall for banquet, by British societies, in honor of Queen Victoria's ''year of jubilee" What would have been thought of London if body of Americans had asked the use of public hall for such purpose, and if, after leave had been granted in face of violent opposition, the building had been dur ing the banquet surrounded by mob, har- angued by incendiary toned speakers, and on- ly prevented from violent acts by municipal force.
 Gov. HYDE's address at the Storr's school commencement is commended to everybody's reading.

Thus far fortunes of the school have s'made history" As prosperous epochs are those de- void of startling events, let us hope that the history of the school for the years to come shall be less interesting to readers who love the sensational"
